My friend, the Romanian

Yes the Romany community will bring with them their little quirks! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ris-Berlin-EVERY-British-politician-read.html I think a few bin bags for that surplus rubbish may be required!

The only thing that bugged me about me workmates was they supported Man U or Chelsea.

A little fatty but goes down ok with a bit of gluhwein. Christmassy.

We than had a serious discussion about speeding in the UK, which I must admit was taken seriously

Apart from the seriousness of the offence, a Polish guy told a most amusing tale of how he had dumped the notice demanding money for a speeding offence in the UK into a drawer and ignored reminders, just as he would have done at home in Poland.
It was not until the threat of arrest came in that he drove "very fast but at less than 30mph " to the office where such fines are paid.

Off topic, but...

There was a guy in our mess at Nelson who used to tell the tale of travelling back in the wee small hours, and missed his turnoff on the motorway

As there was nothing around he decided to reverse and take the junction



Only to collide with another car

So he phoned Police who arrived and spoke to the other driver. Then came across and said " that bloke stinks of booze and can hardly speak, In fact he is so drunk he claimed you reversed into him - no-one would reverse on a motorway so he couldn't be telling the truth

Could he?"

No said the driver and left the Police dealing with the drunk

Bulgaria is the only European country that has never lost a flag in war, or changed its name.

It also has a womble population.

I'm going to give the Romanians a dose of their own medicine. I'm going there this summer.

i went there a couple of years ago... a long weekend in Iasi. slightly crazy place, but the people were fine. the biggest worry was the amount of stray dogs.
